What To Take Once You Book Your Machu Picchu Tour Package

By Jessica Peterson


Machu Picchu is a popular tourist destination that is located in Peru. It is one of those places that you should make an effort to visit, if you are an adventurous person. Once you have finalized the details and booking for your Machu Picchu tour package, the next step is to start packing up for your trip. For your trip to go well, you have to bring the right things for this journey. Here are some necessary items you should pack up.

You need to get yourself comfortable shoes. This is because you will be doing a lot of walking around. You can trek up to the ruins. This can take a few days, or even a couple of hours, depending on where you start trekking. Then once you get to the site, you will have to hike up the ruins for hours. There are a lot of rocks and loose stones in the area, so comfort is key when choosing shoes to wear. Since it can rain, get shoes that are water resistant too.

Put on clothes that are suitable for the weather. During hot weather, carry clothes that are light, a sunhat and sunglasses. During wet seasons, have on a jacket and raincoat. It is important that you wear comfortable clothes. You can never go wrong with putting on jeans, when visiting the site. Keep in mind that you are likely to take lots of photos, so put on clothes that will look nice in the photos.

It can get chilly, even during warm months. Therefore, carry something warm to put on. It will most likely be cold, early in the morning, just before the sun is about to rise. Layer dressing would be ideal for this situation. Have a backpack, where you can put your clothes as you remove them, as the day get hotter. The backpack should be small or medium in size, as large backpacks are not allowed into the site.

You might find it helpful to bring along a guidebook. It can give you information about the site and other things that go on around the site. Moreover, a Spanish phrasebook can be useful. Lookup a couple of phrases in Spanish to make it easier for you to converse with the local population.

If you are taking any medicines, it is okay for you to carry them. There are pharmacies in the nearby town, so you can buy whatever medicines you need from there. Altitude sickness medicines can be helpful in case you get negatively affected by the high altitude, so bring some tabs. Also, if you suffer from motion sickness, carry a few tabs.

Remember to bring along a camera and a water bottle. The scenery is so beautiful, you will definitely want to take some photos. In addition, you need to stay hydrated, so carry some water in a water bottle. There are some water bottles that can keep water cool, which will be quite refreshing for you.

It is essential that you carry your personal effects too. This includes things such as toothbrush, toothpaste, comb and even deodorant. Also, pack up a comb and some wet wipes. Carry them from home or buy them from the nearby town.
